According to William Porter, adviser to Signpost, a new application will be used this year. The application will be more specific concerning editorial policies and changes the new editor hopes to make in the Signpost. Mr. Porter and other members of the new publications board hope to have a tighter rapport with the neweditor-in-chief of the Signpost. Jerry Burns, executive vice president and member of the publications board, said that applications would be available in the student activities center, the Signpost office and the Communications department office.
